Default Cranking issue

Hey everyone as some of you know im new to this whole forum thing... Anyway my car is a 05 & has been having a starting issue ever since i installed the ecs big blower cam/ bolt ons. Didnt do it before but the code read crank sensor & i replaced it twice along with the cam sensor. It sometimes takes a couple trys to get her started. Rpm guage works fine though so i dont believe its the cam gear... Anyway let me know what everything thinks! Like i said the car never did it before i installed the cam & the bolt ons.

did you do a crank relearn procedure that the factory service manual states should be done after these part replacements?

When it turns over slow it draws to many amps and you get the check engine lights.


Mine would turn over slow when hot.


New B&M starter fixed my issues.


Usually when symptoms take place the tach stops working until restart

I did not do the relearn procedure... I thought it relearned it self! What are the steps so i can try it?

i replaced the starter recently because the stock one stopped working... But the problem has to do with crank positioning. Atleast thats what i broke it down to so far.

Are you waiting after a failed start? If you try to start too soon the crank motor/starter (or whatever you choose to call it) can overheat and fail.
